- Thanks to South OC Cars & Coffee for helping us create this video: / southoccarsandcoffee
Mat’s flown over to the American West Coast, and he’s attending a Cars & Coffee meet-up!
There are absolutely loads of supercars at this event, with pretty much every supercar brand making an appearance of some description - Porsche, Lambo, McLaren, Ferrari and even Bugatti… They’re all there!
The question is, how exactly do the owners afford to buy these incredibly expensive cars? Well, Mat’s about to find out! He’s going to speak to a whole host of car owners at the event to find out what they do for work to be able to afford these incredible machines. But not only that, he’s going to put them to the test to find out how much they really know about their car!
The question is, will he find a car worth more than the most expensive car he’s ever drag raced, a Koenigsegg Agera RS?! You’ll need to keep watching to see for yourself!

Not, me first😂
Matt Watson. The only guy who can correct someone on the stats of their own car 😂
Agree. So did Takina Inoue...
Definitely they're his cousins 😂
Yea
Some people just don't know
Your either being sarcastic or actually the BS you said 😂😂😂
So, nobody’s gonna ask Matt what he does for a living? Nah we already know and love his content!

I like the fact that it wasn’t just millionaires and billionaires there. You got even “normal” people with engineering/software/healthcare jobs driving their dream cars, whether they leased or bought it or financed. Love to see it.
I work in healthcare and I can’t say what I do? Lol.

@@Denew3t fair. But I know people personally who are single, making $200k as software engineers, and leasing insane sports cars for $2500 a month lol. So its not impossible. But your point is valid.
The owner of “Hell Bee” the Bugatti Chiron is Hezy Shaked co-founder the Tilly's!
I thought it was Bijan
I can also confirm. He's a good guy.
What is the point when you are too busy to enjoy any of the cars, cannot even spend a few hours at a cars and coffee.
@@BestOfTate23 he's retired. He just sends his cars so others can check them out. Also, Tate is a doooosh
Saw James TheStradman feature his car collection in his videos 😅
Matt should definitely do more car meets in the future, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode!
What about meet and greet with Chisato & Takina?
agree
you're so good at asking these question and not make it seem awkward or making them uncomfortable. i'm impressed
There's a real skill in asking people these questions and getting friendly, honest responses.
Matt is way more talented than he lets on
"I work in healthcare industry.." That definitely is drugs supply🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love that you don’t stick to one special type of vid but do what you like. It always works well!
Those supercars including JDM supercars are all straight FIRE!
yep he is killing it! also has good energy and a great sense of humor.
One thing I learnt from this video is that all these owners are well over in their 30's. And I still have a lot of time to work hard and get to that level. It takes time.
love how matt can improvise a joke after asking them their jobs to make the conversation less awkward

theres a reason why carwow has 8.3M subscribers especially for a car channel. Matt is just the goat at everything.
Matt Watson is simply bibilical.
One of the best CarWow videos of 2023 so far. Excellent work Mat!!
One of the most enjoyable car videos I have seen in a long time! Nice people telling about their nice cars, hosted by one the most likable personalities in the business.
Really nice to see one of these "what do you do for a living" videos where it's not just all big business owners or inheritance like the tiktok videos. Great to see people in different fields who are still able to own incredible cars
@tomtom87483, Matt should meet with Chisato Nishikigi.
Years ago. It was either in Car and Driver or Road & Track magazine. There was a small write up about who buys these cars. It wasn't the super rich but people who make an above average income and they've had set a goal of buying say a Ferrari and they did it. My own brother did that when he got out of college. He bought a couple of different Ferraris over the years. He made a very comfortable living working in Silicon Valley.
@@Rhaspuninteresting think I'll do some evaluating om this
I can't believe how so many were unaware of their own car's engine size.
Because they're not car guys, they're showing off their wealth guys.
@@kristoffer3000 "There's a breed of humility which is itself a species of showing off."
- Mark Twain
@@kristoffer3000 I don't see much wrong with that. I mean at the very least the engine and HP should be known. I'm by no means a car guy, I'm actually in Cyber Security and I don't know a whole lot about my corvette, but I know enough that I could answer these questions at least.
wealth comes in various ways, THink it this way: A lot of people have computers and major part of those people dont know what processor they have, they just bought it because they need or because it was the recommended to them. When your money power gets big, you just get the best things witouth think much and just enjoy
I get the feeling that for them the stats don't matter as much as the actual experience of owning such cars, particularly not capacity. Power (at least knowing a ballpark) and engine conf are still more relevant as they directly affect the driving experience. It's more us regular car fans who can't afford to access these cars that then focus on what we can access about such cars, which is primarily information and stats
I love watching Matt because he just is genuine. Enjoyed this one, mate.
Man. Please more videos like this.
I love hearing what type of people drive the cars.
Thank you so much for this video!!!
(I love most of your other videos too:D)
The guy who took out the car manual is my hero 😎
Absolutely loved this video! One of the best you've done. Please do more of these. It was very interesting to hear what these people do for a living.
I would say one of my most favorite Car Wow episodes to date, nice job Matt Watson
This was truly one of the best videos, second only to those that Yanni THOUGHT he was going to win the races, but lost and he let you know! Keep up the good work Matt!
I approve this hundred percent.
Sad
Matt is in US California . He should meet Doug Demuro. Anyone with me???
Edit : Mom I am famous!!!
Mat Watson for Doug Score and Doug Demuro for final verdict.
Yes 👍🏼
Absolutely 🔥
Definitely
Throttle house too
Saw myself in this video a few times, very cool to see Mat out here and hope to see him again!
Awesome video, Mat!! Loved it and was genuinely surprised by how many people knew the stats for their car - guess I wasn't expecting that! Looked like you really enjoyed making that video! 😀👍👍
Thanks Matt for all your videos and experiences with cars , i learn more through this channel since 2017
Love the vibe Mat has with these people
Mat Watson has really broadened my knowledge about cars and every video put out there has been educating and fun but this video right here has to best ever i have seen. I giggled when one guy said he knows Mat from carwow, it just shows how much work Mat puts in to get results. I feel honored to have stumbled on the carwow youtube channel. Have a good one
brilliant Matt, and so nice to see that unlike the UK its okay to have a flash car and not much envy from others or embarrassment from the owners…just folks enjoying the cars and results of hard work
So cal car culture is really special
and 20% of these were British cars, we should be embracing what we have!
The guy who owns a solar company was like "I'll offset my carbon footprint by owning a whole renewable energy company" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Solar is the biggest scam right now. These guys are loaded because their prices are high but their costs are pennies on the dollar.
Love the vibe at these things, just people enjoying their cars.
6:31 that porsche turbo s looks very good, also funny how Mat constantly touches his interoir pannel 😂
Boy who carried the family on his shoulders 4:25 Gratitude 🙏🙏🙏😢😂😂😂😂😂
Hey mat! Don't stop doing this, loved this video
Matt. You’re fantastic. You really are.
Born to do it. It really shows on camera. Thank you Matt
As a software engineer myself I know California salaries are very high (like $350k / year high or even more) but I also assumed cost of living is insane as well. So cool to see the engineers being able to afford high end cars. I wonder if they work remotely?
I make $350k p/a. I can’t afford a super car. Something doesn’t add up here.
Or they always lived in California and have owned their homes their whole life before the massive increase in cost of living. Some people are just in the right place at the right time
@@bwdrives what planet are you on? California has had a cost of living crises for 50+ years!
@@britexpat_l33t clearly not judging by the wealth on show here 😂 maybe for the bottom 75% but the top 25 seem pretty happy
@@britexpat_l33t You dont make 350k p/a
This was super cool. The people who made the vid all seemed great, makes that C&C seem like a blast. The NSX was my favorite! The McLarens were pretty cool too ;)
All the software engineers don't surprise me, I've got buddies who do that in Cali and they can make $250-700k depending on seniority. The physical engineer does surprise me though, we don't typically make nearly enough money to buy a Ferrari like that one.
I once met a guy who owned a 918. He had just gotten back from taking it on the ice in Finland. He was an engineer, who owned an HVAC business.
That is insanity 700k
Roblox software engineers make up to $1 million a year lol
@@sasukesuite1 thats only director level engineers making that much at Roblox. Seniors, IC3 to 4 make like 350-500
yeah same job you get less pay in UK
Brilliant video, we need more like this!
Very interesting and a fun watch, thanks!
Loved this!!! So inspiring!!!! Thank you Mat
All of the people you asked were super humble and really nice guys . They deserve this success
Anshu, don't let it fool you. This is California, they're not known to be genuine. If you know anything about California, it's not all what it seems. A lot of fake people. Southern California lifestyle is based on image, that's all.
u realized they are r on camera right?
fucken lol
I love that you got a very diverse group of answers. It goes to show that if you are passionate about what you do and find a way to market it, you can make a lot of funny in that field. No it won't happen over night 99% of the time, but with time, dedication and consistency you can get there. I'm a senior mechanical engineer for a company in Silicon Valley and was able to purchase my 2012 Ferrari 458 last December because of what I do. I have been in industry for 16 years now, but was able to make my dream a reality.
Still needs to be in California though, otherwise it won't happen.
@jkliao6486 while it happens more often in California, it's not a requirement. I know a lot of people all over the country that have become insanely successful.
@@LifeatSpeed Of course there would be when we have 8 billion people on the planet. But your statement about being passionate in whatever you do and still able to achieve your dream, that is simply not true. Maybe less so in California, but there are certain job you need to do to achieve certain dreams, and in other part of the country, or even in other country, you simply can't do that however hard you work and passionate about your job.
@jkliao6486 I can tell you from experience that's simply not true. Sure you need to be able to figure how to monetize it, but if you're that passionate about it, you figure it out. There has never been an easier time in human history to be able to reach that level of success
@@LifeatSpeed That doesn't explain why people all move to California, including you, and that is especially true for the younger generation. Passion alone doesn't generate money at all, and I know from experience that it won't work when you are only designing filler cap flaps when you have passion for cars. Sure you are successful, and I wish all the best for you, but your experience hasn't really proven me wrong when I said it's not true everywhere.
Grinning from ear to ear ...thanks for this vid. You made what was a shitty day into a much happier one 🎉❤
This should be a regular series!
Senior software Engineer with a Huracan. That’s impressive.
Not really. We pay $250-$350k/year for those positions. He probably got a 10 year term and has a payment of $2500 or so. That's with a conservative down payment though. If he put $30k down, closer to $2300.
@@JoeJacksonGT3 this meant he lives in a box from fridge 😂
@@vadym8713 living normal for 2 years and he could buy that huracan outright.
Not really, in my country aside of gangsters and politicians only senior software engineers can afford such cars. Obviously depends on tech you work with like frontend js,react, etc senior will not earn that money but some more obscure backend language used in some old but unreplaceable stuff can easily afford to buy that Huracan just in 6-7 months.
@@wykydytron whats the obscure backend language u mean if u dont mind me asking, cuz im an aspiring SWE myself and im curious
I love that you asked them about the specs !!
People will say what a content but I think its an ART of matt, he's just smooth and above that knows his stuff.
All of the people you asked were humble and nice they deserve the success!
Best car content creator 😊 all love from Canada
Do more of this Matt. Was fun to watch
I love this style of video. Really cool to see everyone's success and their style in cars.
3:05 my man on the far left went for the sneaky nut scratch lmao
What a great video team. Really cool learning what all the owners do. Seems real estate and insurance is the way to go.
Yep. He is a millionaire.
Real estate WAS the way to go, high interest and stagnating returns will make it harder to enter
@@bwdrives Real estate has always been a place to invest in. Everyone forgets that interest rates were much higher if you go back a few decades. Many people mistakenly think the low interest rates we just had is normal. I remember paying much higher interest rates back in the early 80s for my house when compared to current rates.
@@Rhaspun what was the population in the 80’s vs now? Did the same lifelong mortgage deals exist?
@@Rhaspun what I’m saying is, house price growth was driven by mortgage products becoming more affordable to people but more profitable to the banks - a perceived mutual benefit
Combined with immigration and population growth creating higher demand for property. Yes there was some natural growth as the world became more prosperous but this will diminish as affordability cannot go further without lifelong or even generational mortgages and population stagnates
Great format! Do more of this ❤
Loved this type of episode, Nice break from, and much more interesting than, the drag races and car reviews. More of this!!!!
Even tho I’m not doing so well at the minute mentally I absolutely love to see people smiling from their success.
What Matt does for a living: Being a car nerd! :)
Yep. Guess what, Chisato Nishikigi is also a car nerd.

Ask the same question in the UK - 9/10 times it’ll be people involved in organised crime.
bet you like to bibble in crime aswell with the old bob

Number of people paying in cash at dealerships and they get away with it. It's crazy.
Nice change up from the regular videos. I like it.
Cool people each and every one of them. Had a stupid smile on my face from start to end.
Awesome video, hope you do more of these in the future
Harris will be there for long, after being kicked out of all media outlets he worked before. Now he's the boss there.
I was suprised by how open all those guys were about the amount of money they spent and what they do for a living (provided they actually told the whole truth, heh).
Nice idea for a video though, would like to see more stuff like that, especially interviewing guys who spent serious extra dough to tastefully mod their cars.
I´m assuming you´re from Europe like me and in my experience this really comes down to a difference in culture between the US and the EU, Germany especially in my case.
In my opinion in the US you get a lot less of jelousy if you are showing off your success compared to over here. Over here people are usually more of the mindset to hide the fact they´re doing well for themself to not attract too much of that jelousy from other people, while in the US this is much more acceptable to be showing what you got.
We need more of this matt 🤩
Great idea, funny and interesting interviews 😍😂
Imagine something happening to the owners Bugatti, and then being able to say "it's ok, I have a few more at home"
The people who can afford them can afford others.

Good stuff Mathew🎉🎉
So glad they're not all from real estate bs. Really shows the variety of things you can do to make it to the top. Do what you enjoy and do it well! I'm happy for almost all of them!
Real estate is a long term game, the only way to make millions from that would be to start with millions. All of these young real estate bros or gurus are all frauds they don’t manage 60+ properties if they’re on TH-cam selling courses on how to do what they claim they do. The only real wealthy people who do real estate are the already wealthy individuals that own several homes around the world or their home country. No one who works a regular 9-5 job will become a millionaire from real estate especially in the housing markets now there’s no way to flip these already over priced and expensive homes..
Why is it bs if their industry is real estate? You can make a lot of money from a real estate biz
@@TheDestineyy Money isn't everything, especially if you sacrifice your moral along the way. Making profit with what should be a human right is wrong. A liveable space should not be an investment or something profit should be made off of.
If a mortgage is 2000pcm and the rent is 3000pcm, that's p much legal theft and profiting off their initial poverty. There is so much wrong with real estate investment, no morals behind it, at all. And no, I am not saying this out of jealousy, I was born into wealth and we've always distanced ourselves from investing in real estate for those reasons.
@@wvlfboyy I didn’t say money was everything, I just replied to you as it is an avenue of work that people can get into. That’s clearly an opinion and whilst I agree, frankly nothing can be done about the greed in the real estate industry as it’s too far in. You come from wealth, that’s great, but for someone who doesn’t they’ll say “if you can’t beat them, join them”.
@@TheDestineyy Of course, and this wasn't a personal attack, sorry if it came across as such, yet I believe there are a lot ways to come to wealth and in my personal opinion, real estate should not be one of them. I am cheering for young people to rebel against the real estate system and to take it down eventually to reshape it in a more humane manner.
This is só interesting to me, I’ve always wondered what these types of owners do for work
Well thats interesting.
Bunch of these guys work in Ponzi schemes, atleast the insurance guys do. I’d rather make my money more honestly.
$40,000 millionaires and trust fund babies.
what do you mean
@@VingVingVing what?
The Bugatti guy gave him the horsepower question before he could even ask😂
What a lesson this is : Most supercar owners 'OWN' businesses
Smiled & laughed all the way through this video, cheers Mat! Mayonnaise Heir indeed hahahaha
Lovely to see all very nice, very humble self-made folk!
Also, we software engineers are really underpaid in the UK compared to our US counterparts (yes, even in the City!). I own a 2017 530d Touring 😁
I was surprised when he said Software Engineer myself. I remember my first job was £25k while the average salary for a develiroo driver is £33k, underpaid for sure.
